i would never rev any engine without a load on it.

just curious, why do you want to rev it that high without a load?

ok that is what I thought. Many people tell me to rev my car so they can hear the engine. I would rather just give them a ride in it. Thanks.

For fun sometimes I rev my car in Neutral until the revlimiter kicks in.
